So my wife helped me on the wall today...

[TAB]

She helped for about 5 hours or so.    Nothing too hard, helping me move block, sacfolding. morter, tie rebar( which she is pretty good at, not surprizing as the tie pilers are the same as ones she uses for work, only SS)  Now she is complaining that she hurts all over. 

 



PS yes she wore gloves.

Thicker than usual I hope ?   

Sounds like a fun time was had by all.

I love having a go-for.

 

I've got 2 sides done, only about 60' to go, then comes the fun stuff, the grout hose and cap.

Trust me the block is easy compared to that POS.  but it beats the 5 gallon bucket method.

Always seemed to wind of with the damn bucket  
I'm not real fond of heights , but guess who usually wound up on the 40' ladder with a roll of roofing.     
I never dropped one or fell

Heights have never bothered me.  I'm pretty sure in the last 10 years I've spent more time time on a ladder or in a harness then I have on the ground.

Be very glad. I took a header off a 12 footer due to heat stroke while carrying a 5/8" sheet of plywood. My back still isn't right. I leave ladders to the pros these days. No good will come from messing around with those things and heavy loads.

Hehe before the good old day of OHS came in I used to work in a hardware/dept store with high shelfing, bottom was for merchandising and the top and middle was for stock, highest shelf was about 15ft off the ground, dunno wht but we never questioned climbing up there on ladders carrying Microwaves and Tv's etc. The Big tvs back then was the 68cm old fashion tube types, they required two guys one on a ladder each with the box on a shoulder each LOL Dunno how no one was ever killed.
The funniest thing I saw was a guy putting some stuff up on the high shelf from one side and inadvertantly pushing a box off into the next aisle, he hit a customer, luckily the box was full of light paint rollers, however the guy refused to see the funny sight (rightly so) to the utter shock of the guy who did it the fella ran around the aisle mad as hell, ironically he had been to the garden dept just before and still had the axe in his had he intended to buy while going off his head, the sales guy shit himself and ran for his life thinking the guy was going to make kebabs from him LOL

e heights I dont have a issue just more wary these days about my getting older and increased chances of not landing well if I do fall.

Most fall from ladders are actually from the less then 6' models.  People think they are safe from that distance.

The worst work related injury I saw that did not result in a death was off of a 4' ladder.   the guy landed on the trigger end of a cualking gun.  It went in, actually cut his small intestine in half and tore his large intestine.  He was out for about 15 months, went under the knife several times.

Yes I've seen people fall to their death, people breaking limbs, losing fingers  and even one guy that lost a butt cheek thanks to a airless, none of them were close to as nasty as this guys was.

Tell us more about this sac folding of which you speak.  Sounds rather painful. LOL
